Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method of presenting a read-only video content presentation comprising a plurality of video segments associable with indicia of which segment(s) are potentially salient wherein at least one salient segment is determined to be salient and at least one non-salient segment is not determined to be salient, comprising: simultaneously allocating less time for playing all non-salient segment(s) without modifying any content of the non-salient segment(s) and without materially increasing the allocation of time for playing any salient segment(s); and presenting for display a time bar that indicates a shorter presentation playtime in response to the allocation of less time for playing all the non-salient segment(s).
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising: presenting for display a user interface for user input in determining which segment(s) are salient.
3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: presenting for display a user interface for user control resulting in the allocation of less time for playing the non-salient segment(s).
4. The method of claim 1 wherein no time is allocated to the display of the non-salient segment(s).
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the non-salient segment(s) are skipped during play of the presentation.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein only the salient segment(s) are played in the presentation.
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the current play position in the presentation.
8. The method of claim 7 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) in the presentation.
9. The method of claim 7 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
10. The method of claim 7 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with both indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) and indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising: reading video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from RAM memory.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising: fetching video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from disk(s).
13. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from a remote large information space.
14. A method of presenting a read-only video content presentation comprising a plurality of video segments associable with indicia of which segment(s) are potentially salient wherein at least one salient segment is determined to be salient and at least one non-salient segment is not determined to be salient, comprising: providing a user with an affordance to elect to allocate less time for playing all non-salient segment(s); if the user so elects, simultaneously allocating less time for playing all non-salient segment(s) without modifying any content of the non-salient segment(s) and without materially increasing the allocation of time for playing any salient segment(s); and presenting for display a time bar that indicates a shorter presentation playtime in response to the allocating of less time for playing all the non-salient segment(s).
15. The method of claim 14 further comprising: presenting for display a user interface for user input in determining which segment(s) are salient.
16. The method of claim 14 further comprising: presenting for display a user interface for user control resulting in the allocating of less time for playing the non-salient segment(s).
17. The method of claim 14 wherein no time is allocated to the display of the non-salient segment(s).
18. The method of claim 14 wherein the non-salient segment(s) are skipped during play of the presentation.
19. The method of claim 14 wherein only the salient segment(s) are played in the presentation.
20. The method of claim 14 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the current play position in the presentation.
21. The method of claim 20 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) in the presentation.
22. The method of claim 20 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
23. The method of claim 20 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with both indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) and indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
24. The method of claim 14 further comprising: reading video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from RAM memory.
25. The method of claim 14 further comprising: fetching video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from disk(s).
26. The method of claim 14 further comprising: receiving video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from a remote large information space.
27. A method of presenting a read-only video content presentation comprising a plurality of video segments to which indicia of which of the segment(s) are potentially salient can be associated wherein at least one salient segment is determined to be salient and at least one non-salient segment is not determined to be salient, comprising: allowing only the salient segment(s) of the presentation to display without modifying any content of the non-salient segment(s), resulting in a shorter video playtime; and presenting for display a time bar that indicates a shorter video playtime in response to such changes in video playtime.
28. The method of claim 27 further comprising: presenting for display a user interface for user input in determining which segment(s) are salient.
29. The method of claim 27 wherein the non-salient segment(s) are skipped during play of the presentation.
30. The method of claim 27 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the current play position in the presentation.
31. The method of claim 30 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) in the presentation.
32. The method of claim 30 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
33. The method of claim 30 further comprising: presenting for display the time bar with both indicia of the location of the salient segment(s) and indicia of the location of the non-salient segment(s) in the presentation.
34. The method of claim 27 further comprising: reading video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from RAM memory.
35. The method of claim 27 further comprising: fetching video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from disk(s).
36. The method of claim 27 further comprising: receiving video segment(s) or video segment associated indicia of salience from a remote large information space.
